About

HOSTAGES, from executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer, stars Emmy
Award winner Toni Collette and Golden Globe Award winner Dylan
McDermott in a high-octane suspense drama about Dr. Ellen Sanders, a
premiere surgeon thrust into a chilling political conspiracy when her
family is taken hostage by rogue FBI Agent Duncan Carlisle. Ellen and
her family are held captive in their home by Carlisle, a desperate
man doing the wrong thing for the right reasons, who orders her to
assassinate the President when she operates on him. His highly
skilled accomplices include his brother-in-law Kramer, whose loyalty
to Carlisle will be tested; quick-tempered and intimidating Archer,
an ex-military man with a razor-sharp tongue; and the only woman
involved, Sandrine, a mysterious last-minute replacement to the team.
With her family's life in peril, Ellen faces an incomprehensible
moral dilemma in order to save her overbearing husband Brian, her
secretive daughter Morgan and her not-so-innocent son Jake. In this
high-stakes standoff between Ellen and Carlisle, fraught with
tremendous national and personal consequences, the choices between
right and wrong become even more blurred.
